Everything seems tricky these days, compared to younger days I mean. School, friends, family and even body image. There are so many different types of body images in the world and when I mean body image I mean what you think of yourself, what you think of your body. You can think you are skinny, fat, athletic, ugly, pretty, average, decent, discusting and on and on and on.
Things get a lot more complicated when other people are in the picture that control or have a take on your body image which is always the case. There is always somebody who thinks you are perfect and always someone who thinks you could use a little work. Too much fat, too much muscle, too skinny, too flabby, too awkward there will always be ways that people can describe you and make you seem unaccepted as a person.
I, myself am fighting with a very important person in my life over my body image. This person thinks I need to change it, need to become skinnier, fitter, and in a better shape over all where I look at myself in the mirror and think that I have a great body. Sure, I am not the skinniest in the middle but it is smooth and I have lots of curve. I don't see anything wrong with this but in light of her decision I decided that I would try to lose some weight for her.
So i went to a dietition and she checked out what I eat. I cut out cheese and turned down the calories on many things I eat. To most people this would not be easy but somehow a long shopping experience and a transition to my new diet has not been such a big deal. Maybe this is because I don't give much thought to what I am eating during the rest of the day. I am too busy too normally but when it comes to a time to eat I ask myself, "What can I eat that I will get the most energy out of and will be good for me?" Now, many people asking this question would scratch out the what is good for me because it is not a legit question to ask but my revolution is why not take care of yourself? I take care of others so much that I sometimes forget about myself and my needs, so if DDing for my friends, eating before I go to a restaurant and overall eating well can take care of my body so I can then take care of others is a good idea. Sure, i'm down...
Weather I lose weight or not right now, I don't care. So far, if I can still look at myself everyday in the mirror and think that I look good and beautiful and healthy in my body image then that is good enough for me. :)
